Mark starts out by giving the melody to a small group of trombones, tenors, and bari. sax before turning it over to the entire sax section. After the trumpet solo section, there is a marvelous sax soli followed by solo space for tenor sax and a shout chorus for the full ensemble. This great chart has something for everyone!
